9 Vintage Industrial Stores for Conscious Consumers

What really makes a vintage product green? The type of durability that allows something to improve with age. If that's the case, then industrial furniture is some of the greenest stuff you can find. Designed to withstand heavy-duty wear, it's able to survive many lifetimes of use. Here are 10 good places (scattered across the US) to shop for industrial pieces.

Two Jakes
Located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, Two Jakes has a large inventory of used office furniture (much of it is suitable for home use). Shop here for vintage file cabinets, office chairs, and industrial tables.

Three Potato Four
Shop here for vintage signage, industrial accessories, and schoolhouse furniture at decent prices. They're also a great source for lettering and graphics if you need something for your walls.

Etsy
Etsy is always a good resource for metal toolboxes, wire baskets, vintage metal signage, and tabletop fans. Shops we like include LacklusterCo and Industrial Relic.
